	Frederick Buechner Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		The American novelist Frederick Buechner (born 1926) was also a Presbyterian minister and theologian whose novels and essays after his conversion explored the grace and healing which penetrate the everyday darkness of human estrangement.
		It is in the Bebb novels that Buechner comes the closest to a fully balanced artistic portrayal of that inseparable mix of the ridiculous and the sublime, the absurd and the gracious, the accidental and the providential, which he sees as the human condition in the light of Christianity.
		Buechner's mature religious vision was characterized by what has been called the "higher naivete" because his lifelong love of fantasy was allowed free play in his fiction and his artist's sense of reality revealed in the narrative and metaphorical character of the biblical literature.

	Theology Today - Vol 40, No. 3 - October 1983 - ARTICLE - Frederick Buechner: The Novelist As Theologian
		For Buechner, the mature believer, all this "hungering after the marvelous" is both fulfilled and critiqued in the biblical story and the Christian faith, with their affirmations of the mysterious sovereignty and initiative and the miraculously incarnate love of God.
		Buechner tells of how lonely and difficult that first year away from Exeter was as he faced the prospect of spending the rest of his days, and exercising his ministry, solely and entirely as a writer.
		Buechner is of especially pertinent interest in the context of the contemporary recovery of narrative (both fictional and autobiographical) and metaphor as essential dimensions and vehicles of the theological art.

		Buechner captures both the human and the divine once again as he traces the life of Jacob, the son of Laughter (Isaac).
		Buechner never adds data in conflict with the Bible, but certainly the character traits, motivations, and numerous small details that bring the story to life are certainly speculative.

	About the Author - Frederick Buechner
		Frederick Buechner was born on July 11, 1926, the oldest of two children of Katherine Kuhn and Carl Frederick Buechner, Sr.

		Clergyman and novelist Buechner (On the Road with the Archangel) switches from the Bible to the Bard for a tale of two brothers' reconciliation inspired by The Tempest.
		Buechner sets the stage for reconciliation as this far-flung family is drawn by various means to Plantation Island, and, inverting his source, makes a tempest the climax of their conflicting natures.
		If Buechner's version of the classic tale lacks the comic relief of the original, he is a fluent storyteller with a fine eye for character and a rich prose style that easily handles poetic tropes.

		Secrets in the Dark is a collection of his best sermons, given over a period of decades in which his own spiritual growth, and his growing comfort with his own fallibility, are reflected in his marvelous prose.
		Buechner calls on us to fill that hunger by becoming Christs, so to speak, to ourselves and others.
		In the end, Buechner is all about the kerygmatic proclamation of the kingdom of God, never reaching so high, nor bending so low, that he isn’t exactly on target in his rhetorical advance toward the beauty of holiness.
